Now days

I didn't stop dancing. I finished at the studio of Neta for sure, but I still go to the studio of Mijal. I guess that I need the brake of writing about the regular classes. Too much happen to me lately. The anger I feel on the way it finished with Neta seem to finish the little energy to write all down. 

About Neta: the fact that I understand better how much she dislike the way I dance and probably dislike me as a person, the fact she likes that I brought some chocolates to the studio at my birthday - but when I made anything else which could help her it was too hard for her to say "thank you" (like publishing here about her shows), and now... Now I'm still waiting for the video and photos from this end of year show - but she upload some photos to Facebook and to other sites. And the video? She won't ask me! It's already at YouTube! We paid for our own memory, but she use it for publishing herself! She didn't say a thing about it before I was demanding to remove a photo with me from a site I didn't know before. And then she told me that the video will go on to the internet. No, even she didn't say a thing I know that won;t be a solo of mine (she dislike my style), but I didn't pay for that cause and I don't want to see myself with this video at YouTube.. In case will be another video - I hope it will go up with my will for it. 

This year I started also at the studio of Mijal and I will stay there, now only at Mijal's studio. This year I noticed that at the studio of Neta it become too easy for me. She used to challenge me, but now it's more challenging when I try to do the improvisation. When it's a dance that she thinks for me - the real challenge for me now is to remember the order of steps. Other things - just to learn a new step or a new palo, and even the palo not always new to me (how many alegrias can I do on;y at her studio?). At the studio of Mijal I'm a year now, starts the second year with her. I start to feel as a part of her studio. I'm relaxed there, knows all, some are newer than me, the methods looks more familiar but still challenge me. I saw Mijal on stage many times before and even after a year at her studio - her style of  movement is still a challenge to my body. 

With Mijal? Even before I started at her studio I knew her a bit on personal. She thanked me more than once for publishing her even before I started learning from her. She still thank me when she finds out that I do it. She still didn't let me feel that she doesn't like my style of dancing. When I made a mistake she had the patience to fix me in a simple way as she do with all students. Yeah, she have the moments that she's gets a bit angry, but it's only human and not only against me. Not only that. When I just started with her she was amazed from my hands' work and said it at loud.  Last week she brought her dog to the studio again. She was amazed that her dog comes to me all the time. Next to all girls she asked the dog if she comes to me because I have a good soul. It looked like she meant it. I know that Neta  say things like this to me only once in a while, only personal and only if I do something to her, never just like that when others hear it. 

So, for the new September. My 9th year at the flamenco starts officially. Last month the second year at the studio of Mijal has started. Still look for the options of shows ans workshops which I still have the energy to write about. I will go for sure to the close tablao (unless anything of the last moment). I guess that I will also go to the workshop of Adi, at least a part of it. 

For new starts and for flamenco
